NEXT DINNER MEETING
January 20, 2022
TO BE HELD VIRTUALLY
Winter Dinner Meeting
Speaker:
Nathaniel R. Kitchel, Dartmouth College
Topic:
The First Radiocarbon Date for the Mount Holly Mammoth and its Implications for Human/Megafaunal Interactions in
The Mt. Holly mammoth, discovered in 1848 in Mt. Holly Vermont, was among the first well documented mammoth finds in New England. Until recently the absolute age of these remains had not been determined. A radiocarbon date of 10,860±30 returned in the spring of 2020 makes the Mt. Holly mammoth one of only nine well dated proboscidean (mammoth or mastodon) finds in New England and the youngest set of remains yet dated in the region. This relatively recent date has implications for the potential temporal overlap between the first peoples and the last proboscideans of the region and provides a better understanding the role of climate change and human predation played in the eventual extinction of these animals in New England and worldwide.
